Confession – this copper Easter wreath is not really copper, only grapevine painted copper. But it’s beautiful! I’m always amazed at how transforming a little can of spray paint can be. Assembling the rest of this whimsical Easter wreath was easy too!
I began by spray-painting a grapevine wreath with a metallic copper color.
Next I made these paper bunnies, inspired by my friend Claire’s project on Pillar Box Blue. Using a paper bunny template (cut from a piece of computer paper), I cut bunny shapes from decorative paper. (I love the French provincial feel of some of the patterns.) Tip: cut each bunny from 2 pieces of decorative paper placed with back sides together.
Next, I stitched each bunny together, leaving the bottom edge open, using a long basting stitch on my sewing machine.
I stuffed each bunny with 2 loosely crumpled paper napkins (cotton balls would work nicely, too). I then stitched the bottom closed, added a ribbon and a button “tail.”
Lastly, I covered the wreath holder with a French market style ribbon to compliment the provincial patterned paper. And that’s it for me. The rest is up to the Easter bunny.
And by the way, this copper Easter wreath also looks sweet on a black door!
I love this copper wreath, it’s amazing what a little copper spray paint can do. I loved the bunnies from Claire at Pillar Box Blue too, it’s lovely to see how you’ve used them here.
What a happy wreath, multiple uses for your bunnies! Thank you for joining TADA! Thursdays
